يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ مَا لَكُمْ إِذَا قِيلَ لَكُمُ ٱنفِرُوا۟ فِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ ٱثَّاقَلْتُمْ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ ۚ أَرَضِيتُم بِٱلْحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا مِنَ ٱلْءَاخِرَةِ ۚ فَمَا مَتَٰعُ ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا فِى ٱلْءَاخِرَةِ إِلَّا قَلِيلٌ ﴿38﴾
Yaaa aiyuhal lazeena aamanoo maa lakum izaa qeela lakumun firoo fee sabeelil laahis saaqaltum ilal ard; aradeetum bilhayaatid dunyaa minal Aakhirah; famaa ma taaul hayaatiddunyaa fil Aakhirati illaa qaleel
9:38. O you who have believed, what is [the matter] with you that, when you are told to go forth in the cause of Allah, you adhere heavily to the earth? Are you satisfied with the life of this world rather than the Hereafter? But what is the enjoyment of worldly life compared to the Hereafter except a [very] little.
مومنو! تمہیں کیا ہوا ہے کہ جب تم سے کہا جاتا ہے کہ خدا کی راہ میں (جہاد کے لیے) نکلو تو تم (کاہلی کے سبب سے) زمین پر گرے جاتے ہو (یعنی گھروں سے نکلنا نہیں چاہتے) کیا تم آخرت (کی نعمتوں) کو چھوڑ کر دینا کی زندگی پر خوش ہو بیٹھے ہو۔ دنیا کی زندگی کے فائدے تو آخرت کے مقابل بہت ہی کم ہیں
